Santa Run 22 November 2009
The weather was very kind to us with blue skies and sunshine. The wind was blowing, but thank goodness, it didn’t rain. We were very grateful for that as the prospect of standing on the beach at Seahouses in the wind and rain just didn’t seem inviting at all!
55 people asked to be with us, but as 6 didn’t make it, so we started the run with 42 runners and 7 walkers, plus 1 dog.
Here I must apologise. After taking the time for the runners, clueless (who shall remain nameless to protect the not-so-innocent) pressed the re-set button….and wiped all the times off. So please be kind when you send in your letters of complaint. Take into consideration her age, (she’s old and doddery) her addled brain, (confusion rules) and her inept handling of gadgets (no change there then)!
Nevertheless congratulations to Chris Barrett and Claire English for winning the Mens’ and Womens’ categories respectively and a very, very big thank you to all those who took part in the actual run and all those who gave their time so generously to ensure that we had a most successful day.
